The Grand Jury's Report.

To the Hon. 7. J. wharton, Judge;
After q most arduous session oil
eleven days, we, the grand jury Of
the First Dlstrict Of Kinds county, for
this the June term Of the court, hav-
ing completed our labors, beg to sub
NIT our final report. We have ex.
smined go witnesses, and have found
and returned into curt thirty-eieht
true bills, Ct which six have been tor
murder, eight for grand larceny, and
the rem aindsr Tor minor ofienses. We
find, with the exception OF murder,
there Is very little crime In this dis.
trict; but We are compelled to dsplore
the fact that homicide seems TO be on
the increase. We feel We have dis
charged our duty toward the suppress
sion Of this crime as best We were
able, leaving the cour! to carry out the
work. We have examined the public
officers accounts and settlements, and
find everything In good shape. We
have examined the jail, snd find the
roof and floors In bad condition, and
the bedding and covering Of the prison
ers insufficient and In q bad condi-
ton. We recommend that proper and
clean bedding DO furnished prisoners,
and tba. the roof be repaired or re-
placed by q new enc. We felt It our

She is Coming,

The International train, due here at
1890 a. M, did not reach the city this
morning, and, 1t is said, that 1t has been
abandoned 10 the Indian Territory, but
no reason Is assigned for this abandon
ment.
AS Miss Adelaide Moore and her
troupe, who are billed to appear at the
Grand opera house tonight were to ar
rive on this train, much enquiry has
been made as to whether she will appear
tonight. The best answer to that en-
quiry, is to publish the telegram Mana
ger Rische received this morning from
Miss Adelaide MOOre's brother ana man,
ager, w. B. Moore.

O'Clock. Notify transfer to be ready on

What's His Scheme 2

Editor LIGHT:
AS the LIGHT is an organ In the public
interest, / contribute to your columns
this article, which conceive would be
another great source Of light to the
readers and thinkers as to the cause Of
hard times. When we consider the mil
lions of consumers, and so few pro-
ducers, and the vast areas of land LAYING
In waste, whose bosom could be tickled
with the hoe, and laugh with q rich har-
vest, we naturally conclude as to causes
Of such scarcity Of food and such univer-
sal wants. The Lords example of Its use
fulness must not be ignored any more
than any other Of his precepts II so, evil
must and will inevitably follow. We
learn lesson when our fOrefather Adam
was placed In the laudable and whole
some pursuit Of agriculture, when the
promise was given by the sweat Of the
face, then should eat bread. Now then
to our subject. Here are thousands Of
acres OF land In this vast country which
Is being leased to cattlemen for 1856 cents
per acre. Suppose the state govern
ment should provide these lands as
homesteads for families In farms OF 80,
90 or 100 acres, and any man binding
himself to cultivate them should have
salu Iarm as long rs ne lives, his child
rem after him, II found diligent in its
care and cultivation. Let each and every
renter be renter from the state,
and let the tax be one sth, 10th,
etc., Of said lands product
and you would find the state govern
ment getting such source of revenue as
never will accrue from any other source,
and work, peace and plenty would be at
every mans door. Then the lsboring
man could unite in strength, and II help
be needed, to start any man upon these
lands, 10 cents per head tax to such one
would place him, when he could help
himself, and the poor man could get In
some OF the goods Of life as the rich man
gets his from labor and the soil which
the Lord OF all put here for mans pro-
lection and support. Let us think about
tnis and arouse our law makers in thIs
direction. Let every man be a cattIe
king by raising snOIgh for himself and
there will be enough for all. Let us
think and work that which the God OF
all gave the people for suppOrt-soil and
. muscle. FRIEND TO LABOR.

The RapidIty of Progress Toward Healtl

Even when a good remedy for disease is se-
lected, depends in some measure upon the
manner in which it is taken. Irregular, inter
ruptcd doses can afford no fair test of the ef-
hcacy of any medicine, however salutary.
Taken in proper doses at prescribed intervals,
q reliable curative will effect the object of its
and persistently used, accomplish thorough
and lasting cures, and prevents the recurrence
of periodic disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers ranks specially high. In cases of dys-
pepsia. deb lily, rheumatism, fever and ague,
liver complaint. inactivity of the kidneys and
bladder, constipation, and other organic mala-
dies, it rs tried remedy, to which the medical
brotherhood have lent their professional
sanction, and which, as a tonic, alternative
and household specific for disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, has an unbounjed
popularity.
